The Hosteller Commune: A mini guide to making the most of India’s best backpacking membership

If you’re puzzled that six months have already passed this year and you haven’t made any significant strides in pursuing your passion for traveling– we’re here to help! We have created a brand-new backpacker membership program called The Hosteller Commune, so you step up your game and elevate your travel experience.

What is The Hosteller Commune? 

In a nutshell, this is India’s first and premier membership program for backpackers, offering numerous perks while traveling and exclusive access to a vibrant travel community across India and worldwide. With over 55 hostels across the country and six years of full-fledged operation, our community of travellers, both offline and online, is extensive.

Over the years, as our community grew, we realized that they deserve to be rewarded for their commitment to exploring the world. We firmly believe that travel should be easy, affordable, and accessible with just a click. It’s become a lifestyle, and we love that you’re passionate about it. For the new generation, travel is no longer just about visiting places; it’s about the experiences and connections made along the way. A backpacker hostel is the perfect place to enjoy memorable experiences with fellow travelers from around the globe. This insight inspired the creation of The Hosteller Commune.

How does it work?

We have three membership programs– Explorer, Voyager, and Wanderer; which cost Rs.4999, Rs.9999, and Rs. 14999 yearly, respectively. Each tier has some exclusive benefits and some superlative ones that increase as the tier increases. We have kept the purchase process easy-breezy. All you have to do is log in to your The Hosteller account on the website, jump to our membership page, select the tier you like and buy your desired plan after filling in some simple information about yourself.

Loyalty coins worthy of your bought package will be immediately credited to your account; i.e., if you have opted for the Explorer program, 4999 TH coins will be funded to your account directly. You can check your active membership and the travel perks in your profile under the membership tab. You’ll be able to claim your brand vouchers and book your travel packages from here. Additionally, you will receive an email and WhatsApp message immediately with the links to the travel package and brand voucher options. Your rewards, cashback, bookings and spendings will be easily traceable from your profile.
